[@Vitali87]

I personally never had an issue with the eye, i always assumed it was broken or just partially functional and that's why it didn't move.

[@apex2000]

Impact damage from that hook slammed into that side of face a few times. Yeah could see the servos that turn the eye malfunctioning, jamming or completly breaking down.

[@secondghost]

My thoughts exactly. That was the side of his face that was being crushed by that steel beam. That is like the one thing in the movie that never needed "fixing".

[@Nightmaroid]

Same here. It was slammed with that iron press a couple of times so I assumed it was in pretty bad shape. Even in some set photos you can see the eye is off, presumably to save batteries but got me thing at some point they consider shutting it off to give the impression it was destroyed.

[@yuothineyesasian]

I always assumed that the actual eye didn't need to move, even though it did in the first one.

[@peterlenham3180]

@@yuothineyesasian When it moved in the first one it was a puppet.

[@konverzny]

For me the fixed eye was never an issue. Consider the fact that Arnold took huge hits to his head, maybe it's why the eye is protruding slightly and also not moving. It's no longer fitting in the socket, or the circuit is damaged, or both. Also you never need rose tinted glasses when watching either T1 or T2, they are some of the best movies of all time.

[@PressA2Die]

Ah you see but Predators jaw.... and... yeah I don't know what he was on about...

[@cujoedaman]

Agreed, I chalked it up to being pounded in the head with a steel beam repeatedly. Perfect in-universe explanation for it.

[@CrossoverKingdom]

More than likely battle damage, yes. It never took me out of the movie. I doubt many people would argue this point.

[@DeadEyes63]

Even in the skull of the terminator the eye is pushed back so if anything the metal should be dented the eyes wouldn’t get too stuck. Maybe stiff but not stuck

[@Tfor2show]

Affirmative. 😎👍🏼

[@darthkahn45]

Sarah shaking hands with something that ACTUALLY looks like the soulless terrifying monster that persued her at the end of T1 makes a WORLD of difference. It feels like an actual T800 terminator cyborg growing a personality, a consience, a soul. Fantastic work

[@KFFAO]

I read about the symbolism in T2 - at first the terminator is wearing glasses and for the viewer and the characters he seems to be a threat. He is completely dehumanized (because his eyes don't show). He is a soulless machine. And then there is a transitional moment when he takes off his glasses and holds out his hand to S.Connor, which is the final transition for the heroes of the movie, that this terminator is a friend, not an enemy (and he didn’t kill anyone in the whole movie). And, on the other hand. When they visited their friend somewhere on the ranch and took weapons. Sarah put on glasses and became like a terminator herself. Her goal was to eliminate a person (Dyson)

I always thought the red-eye didn't move, because the mechanism which caused it to move was damaged. He did take an I-beam to the head quite a few times.

[@Tfor2show]

😎👍🏼 Affirmative.

[@JoshuahMyles]

He literally mentioned that in his video. Sounds like somebody just jumps to conclusions without letting a video finish.

[@BrockLee3]

@@JoshuahMyles LOL! Look at who's jumping to conclusions (you). I did watch the whole video; and, I know he mentioned the damage in the video. However, I was mentioning how I always believed how the eye didn't move because it was damaged. And, I believed that from back when I was a teenager (over 20 years ago). It bothered him in this video; because, he believed that it NEEDED to move; but, it didn't NEED to be "fixed." The eye moving would indicate the Arnold Terminator wasn't damaged THAT badly. However, the fact the eye was so badly damaged proves how much the Arnold Terminator took; and, how much of a sacrifice he made in order to protect John. "Fixing" the broken eye just makes it look like less of a sacrifice. Imagine someone fighting for someone else's life; and, that person's arm was so badly damaged during the fight that it didn't function anymore. Then, someone comes along and says, "Well, the arm is still attached...soooooo, it SHOULD still function." Then, he makes some video effect to make it look like a wacky-inflatable-flailing-arm man was controlling the arm. Sure, it would be funny as shite...but, it would go against the sacrifice which the damaged-arm guy made in the movie.

[@owenitzura]

The way I've always reconciled this "issue" since I was a kid, was that the eye got severely damaged and dislodged out of its mechanism when the T-1000 rammed Arnold's face with the steel beam, as you specified in the video. That seemed enough for me, lol.

[@Tfor2show]

🔥👍🏼🔥 I can dig this idea.

[@jonnyb.animationstutorials7119]

That makes sense because when he first gets rammed, and the eye is exposed, it's turned off like it's been disconnected, but then turns back on. It's like getting rammed several times knocked something loose.

[@captainnutsack8151]

[@Elfrunner]

@@LukeLovesRose Some of the adjustments are fine, mostly to match the look of the newer films, like Cloud City having windows to feel more open, stormtroopers riding dewbacks, and the extended celebration scene after the Empire's defeat. Even the KZbin channel FXitinpost redid Obi-Wan and Vader's fight, which is just fantastic and works so much better in relation to their Mustafar duel. But one change I never liked was Greedo firing his blaster at Han. Han shot Greedo because Greedo threatened the Millennium Falcon, not because Han needed to be shot at first.

My biggest problem was the night scene when the T-1000 latches onto the back of the cop car speeding away with his metal hooks, the shot where the car slides around the corner with the T-1000 dragging behind it - that just looks like a terrible mannequin doll rolling around...

[@folksurvival]

[@dynamicender]

[@90stalgiaTV]

People with too much money and time on their hands 😂

[@Is_This_Really_Necessary]

As much as I like the original "stagnant eye", I think your take adds a lot more depth to that scene. The movement from the terminator's eye along with the exposed endoskeleton contrasted alongside Arnie's real eye and skin makes it even more eerie. You can really grasp that despite the "human" appearance it is still a machine solely designed to kill humans. Personally, I prefer your take and really would like something like this to be included in the film.

[@Anamnesis]

Real nice work! Being a Cameron shill myself, I'm not one to nitpick, and the prosthetic goof never bothered me even as a kid when I noticed it 30 years ago. The way it bulged out left no room for the missing organic eye, which would have cartoonishly bulged out from his face even further if it were still there on top of that robotic one. But it was all practical makeup and we sort of applaud that these days, so I just dismissed it as less of a goof and more of a practical limitation.

[@alekesam]

The thing is, it only really sticks out in stills. That's how good of a job they did on T2's practical effects and editing. Whenever I watch T2, I'm never broken out of the immersion by it's effects, acting and editing. T1 has some real dodgy stuff that does take me out of the movie.

[@EbonyPope]

@@alekesam You mean like the Arnold Puppet? Well the budget was more limited. They could have done better but the money wasn't there. Or what else do you mean?

[@alekesam]

@@EbonyPope Sheesh. I really said that? T1 does have some dodgy prac fx but for it's budget, Jim did an outstanding job. I wonder if I was going to make another point and flubbed the delivery?

[@stoomkracht]

T2: the best action movie. It used real locations, props and practical effects with a slight touch of computer effects here and there. Real camera movements. Real explosions. It didn't and couldn't go way over the top like so many of today's movies. Which is why it feels grounded in reality. Same with the first Jurassic Park. There they used obviously more CGI, but still many times mixed with models and real locations and a story that made sense. And that's why it still feels real and best of all the Jurassic crap we got since.

[@starwarsroo2448]

Very simple plot, yet one of the greatest movies of all time, great characters, scenery/ effects/ sequences

[@EbonyPope]

And don't forget a real helicopter going under a bridge. Maybe one of the best helicopter stuntmen of his days who made this possible. I can't think of anything comparable.

[@dkrmedia4019]

I always thought the T-1000 riding up the stairs on the bike was a nice touch at showing how even though it's the perfect killing machine it's still just a computer that makes awkward looking mistakes thinking it's being more practical.

[@hughmcgown]

I just thought it was a machine so didn't care about our concepts of where bikes go, bike = faster = use bike, t1000 is all about using tools it cant make so a bike would be pretty handy to increase pace and the way it drives out the window its not like it was stuck on the top floor if it needed to get down it would just go for it and get another vehicle if it broke

[@EbonyPope]

The chopper going under the bridge is an actual helicopter. And it shows. Real effects just have this texture to them that you don't get with CG.

[@ChrissonatorOFL]

@@EbonyPope That's more about how the CGI is done or properly integrated into the shots, more than the CGI itself. For example, the CGI in the original Jurassic Park is rudimentary compared to the CGI in Jurassic World. The CGI in Jurassic World is far more involved than Jurassic Park. In Jurassic Park, in HD you can definitely see where the texture quality falls and the addition of bump mapping exists to exaggerate more detail, whereas in Jurassic World, those smaller details can be actually modeled now to accurately interact with the CGI lighting. That's just the start of it.

[@EbonyPope]

@@ChrissonatorOFL Well it still looks horrible. Or was a good decision to do most shots practical and only use CGI when there was no other way. There are only few directors left that have this attitude. Christopher Nolan would be an example. No matter how good the CGI is flipping a freakin' Semi truck on screen in the Dark Knight eat one of the most impressive things I've seen in movies so far. There is nothing animated that even comes close.

[@ChrissonatorOFL]

@@EbonyPope Meh, the thing is, people only notice bad CGI, or CGI you know is CGI because it would be impractical to do practically.

[@EbonyPope]

@@ChrissonatorOFL The only CGI I find hard to notice is the one that is kept in the dark. The way it should be. As soon as you have full lighting no matter how good your CGI is it's still visible. Even in Prometheus it was obvious that the spaceships were rendered. And that was really good CG.

Dude I need to tell you 'bravo'! I also fall within the camp of never having had an issue with the original eye, and despite the passage of time (decades I hate admitting) I've always been able to keep this film set within the 1991 context of its visual effects - which back then were utterly mind-blowing and revolutionary. That is, I've never seen or felt the need to try picking it apart through the lens of 30 more years of special effects evolution. T2 was and always will be special (both the first & second films). But I still LOVE the results you achieved working on that endo-eyeball and totally understand the points you made, your reasons for having a crack at it. It turned out badass man! I think you should be pretty psyched...

I would have added some artificial shine or separated the highlights to a separate layer and animated that to flow properly as well - or, as you said, just have it be done in 3D.

Something I've always wanted to see: The lightning storm at the climax of Back to the Future to have gradually increasing rainfall. Maybe it starts to drizzle a bit when Marty is sitting in the car at the "start" line, and by the time he's speeding towards the cable with the pole attached, it's outright pouring, and we see the back tires actually going through puddles. Not sure if that would be possible to seamlessly incorporate though, even with modern methods.

[@gruthakhul100]

Wow, that eye always stuck out to me too. Great job enhancing it like you did, with all due respect to Stan "the man" Winston. It's not a dig at T2 when these things are noticed. Instead it shows just how many times we've watched an awesome movie. I can't wait for my son to get a bitolderso I can introduce it to him. Thanks for the video.

boooomm baby!!! this looks so over the top! That would have ripped everyone off their chairs back then! really fantastic good job bro!❤

[@JTCurtisMusic]

I wasn’t sure how I was going to feel about this upgrade, but mad props to the work that went into this. The eye looked really good and respected the continuity from the first film. Like you said, CGI being used right.

[@shona-sof]

Daaaamn. Having the eye move in those quiet closeups actually sells the 'reality' of the terminator so much! It absolutely enhances the performance.

[@leonefurlan137]

Cordery,i love your obsession with T2 ! I was worse,i rented it on vhs when i was 11,and said to my parents i've lost the tape,just to watch it everyday afterwards when parents were at work... T2 / Aliens and Predator 1 are the holy trio of cult action movies that will never be surpassed,remade,rebooted or else! Peace

[@timi_ro]

To bad I didn't have a vhs player those days, but I agree with your holy trio proposal, the studios should do a remastered Bluray pack with these movies and include their awesome second parts too! There's still so much milk from the holy trio to be milked for years to come!

[@eddysandland58]

Leon Furlan, Same As Man those 3 are Quality Films! I'd add these to a similar list The Thing/Escape from New York n Robocop! They're just Soooo Fuckin Cool Man! Cheers

[@leonefurlan137]

@@timi_ro i am just amazed that nobody surpassed the feeling of those films even 35 yrs later!? With all the cgi,big budgets and big stars,still nothing comes close! I think it just shows that not all is in the budget or movie technology and big picture resolution...

[@leonefurlan137]

@@eddysandland58 true! They tried to remake all of them,and every try was worse than the last! The Thing (2011) remake = terrible, every Terminator after 3 = disgusting , The Predator (2018) = worst movie i've ever seen ,.Prometheus/Covenant = omg , Robocop (2015?) = ufff ,and so on! Looks like it is impossible to remake them,they should'nt even try!

@General Grievous The Galactic Hero myyy mannn!!!

[@GamertagO1]

I’ve always noticed this. I like the change you made.

[@levidixie6271]

Nicely done. It does make the scene look cooler

[@anthonymcgrath]

i work in visual fx and dude that eye fix of yours with basic 2d elements is f**king brilliant! Bravo. theres a moment where the eye seems a bit too low as he looks screen left but honestly - it looks REALLY cool and a nod to the original film with the eye in blackened darkness! subscribed - truly excellent content thankyou! ant

[@Rio..o7..]

The T-1000 rode his bike up to the office because he was tired of being outrun, throughout the film children on foot, terminators on foot and mental patients on foot keep evading him; so, he wants to be prepared this time.

[@evenfunnierguy]

I BURST into laughter with Arnold singing at the end! 🤣😂🤣

[@skeletor6287]

I never even noticed till now. Thanks for that!

[@albertb.7147]

5:41 THE 2 EYES ARE NOT ALIGNED.😂😂😂...

[@itsTapseeTheNative]

I have some thoughts. When you referenced the first Terminators puppet, I thought "Sure it seems tacky by today's standards but the puppet had this uncanny valley feel that adds to the fact that this is a machine made to look like a human." Honestly, the puppet freaked me out when I first saw it in the film. I had no idea it was a puppet, I wasn't sure what I was seeing but... it felt unnatural. I like this video though, and I think what you did looks great, and I would love to see a bigger studio tackle something like this.

[@Vaporvice84]

Arnold becomes genuinely terrifying to look at as both the movie, and the Terminator flesh rotting progresses.

[@leeperkins84]

Love your work chief

[@Balevolt]

Never saw the thread before, thanks, now I'll never be able to unsee it

[@PunjabiSylhety]

I have been wanting this done since the movie came out… That static eye is such a eye sore (hehe) to an otherwise masterpiece. I was and still am a crazy Terminator fanboy. You nailed it on head… CGI and visual computer graphics should be there to mitigate and enhance practical effects, not replace them. Obviously they also need to be used when practical effects are not possible for the desired result such as the examples you gave. However, I am totally down with going back and mitigating and enhancing older movies with CGI touch ups. I think if done correctly they will help older movies age better.

[@snowroaches]

Maybe the eye doesn't move because it was damaged in the fight.

[@MrKinezos01]

The new red eye on the scene is showing the Killer machine inside, the evil and the good (Arnold) Good work man!

[@iusedtowrite6667]

Compared to the jaw which was a more integral part of tbe design, the eye never really bothered me. It wasn't that obvious. Still your 'fix' looked good
